So I drank my first ever home brew just now. It is the Brewers Best Pumpkin Spice Porter. It was bottled a week ago today. While it is still not "ready" yet, I felt I needed to try one to see how I did. It is quite drinkable! I did notice that a few more weeks in the bottle will probably be needed to finish carbonating. It was under carbed, but still tasted good. Came in at 5.6ABV. It is a bit hazy, I am guessing that is because it took 90 minutes to cool in an ice bath. I can only imagine what this will taste like in a few weeks to months now! My second brew has been in the primary for about 2 weeks now. Caribou Slobber. I can not wait.
Picked up a 6er of Moose Drool to do the comparison when the Slobber is ready. I have wanted to get into this hobby now for a while, as a few friends do it. What can I say, I have the bug. I want to get into all grain. I am curious what you all recommend for equipment to start collecting now that I want to go a little above extract brewing now.
